Just about to buy a Beta X Trainer

Only one – CBR600R F4i, passed my test, enjoyed it, sold after a year in 2010 and haven’t ridden since.

Partly because I smashed my arm up in an MTB crash and I don’t fancy my chances if I wreck it again.

Partly because I haven’t got room in my life for two hobbies.

Mostly because of the attitude of other road users.

I always planned to change bikes every year, and go through all the sportsbikes etc, but each of the 3 bikes were always great fun and perfect for the job at hand. The 1st 2 were commuted on all through the year. My current is now in the garage for winter, haven’t had the urge to ride in the last few months

FS1E the one with the peddles, from 1973, in burnt Gold, with performance exhaust, what a truly amazing machine.
TL125 trials, off road only and competition only (bought this from a family friend of my Dads, went to a handful of Trials competitions over Wem in Shropshire, didn’t do particularly well but enjoyed the 2-stroke stink from all the OSSA’s and Montessa Cotas around at the same time) .
RM400 (for two weeks and I’m counting that as it threw me off the back, I sold it to a MX mate, a monster of a bike)
BSA C15 Trials (given to me by my Dad just before he passed away. Handed to me in boxes and two wheels and a frame. Told “fix this up Son, sorry I can’t be with you to finish it”) It was ace, again off road only. Big brute of a thing that had one piston fire sequence every 100mtrs. Wish I’da kept this thing.
Vespa 250, for riding around Town, sold now as didn’t use it much.

I’ve only had one bike so far but completely hooked

BMW F800GSA

But I’m totally in lust with the BMW S1000XR. 160bhp wakes you up in the morning! Might order one soon!

Back in 2008 the day before my son was born I had a deal with the wife as I wanted to purchase a 2005 Yamaha R1. the deal was I would keep it for 5 years if she gave the green light.

In the next 5 years I owned 32 bikes…

Since 2008 I’ve owned 40 bikes… I generally have 3-4 per year. Some years I’ve had 7 though LOL.

I usually have 2 bikes in the garage, 1 for road, 1 for track, so they are often swapped around, changed etc depending on circumstance and what’s planned for the year.

Currently I only have a KTM690 Duke4, but I’m planning on changing that asap and adding an R1.

Hi Rachel

I took delivery of a new S1000XR just before xmas. Chuffed with it so far, quick and comfy.

I have a Apilia Tuono V4 APRC as well and its a real heart bike the BMW is more of a head bike.

Love both of them, sold my Daytona 675 track bike to get the BMW. So now will be doing trackdays on the Tuono and I love it 🙂

Weeksy, be interested to know what you thought of the KTM 690, as I’m sorely tempted by the latest model

I’m 45 firestarter and the CR50 I rode aged 8 😛
So not “that” often 😆

Pete, I’m afraid my opinion is quite limited as I bought in Nov and the weather turned to rubbish so ive done less than 20 miles on it.

I Rode the demo bike for 3 hours and loved it while my 390 was being serviced, so bought the 690. Will be my road and track bike for this year.

Several years gap until I did my direct access then

Honda Deauville 650 – great bike, kept it for a decade
Honda CRM250R – Lovely bike, did some trail bike races on it
Suzuki DR350SE – Bought all the bits to change it to a long-range trail race bike but them swapped it
Yamaha SR125 – actually my wife’s bike but I used to commute on it
Yamaha XT600 – Hated it
Suzuki Bandit 600 – didn’t like it much either
2 x Suzuki Bandit 400’s (one UK spec and one an import) – preferred them to the 600
2000 Gas Gas Pampera – still have it – not used in years though
2001 Honda CBR600F – bought it new and still have it – not used in years
1987 Honda XBR500 – still got it
2009 Honda CBF1000GT – still have it, the only bike I keep road legal
Aprilia RS50 – actually my sons but still in the garage as I keep forgetting to get rid of it

Might have forgotten a few as I usually have 5 or 6 bikes at the same time!
